    Superb food. The warm semolina cakes were special. The casarecce was delicious as well and the pistachio gelato (pardon my sweet tooth) was excellent! Great hospitality, the server was super helpful and knowledgeable. Giulia also accommodated my request for vegetarian food by providing us with an off-the-menu appetizer and main course option, even though their menu had vegetarian options. The quality of everything we had was top-notch. The food was paced well. We noticed that as we were there at 8:45 PM, absolutely famished! Totally worth another visit!

    Fantastic, as always! We went for something a little different - the crab cakes and the uovo Benedictine, and both were great, but the real stars were the cocktails. Absolutely stellar espresso martini and “direct flight to Rome” a perfectly balanced espresso & amaro cocktail that I fell in love with. We’ll certainly be back (again and again!)

    We ordered le steak frites which were excellent. The steak was deliciously seasoned and cooked exactly per our request. Should you choose to eat french fries, this is the place to thoroughly indulge and savor each delectable bite--they are well salted and texture perfect. Watercress and nickeled red onions are terrific--allowing to you say you chose this entree for the salad--haha! Our server was delightful and informative; attentive without being intrusive. Additionally, there was a terrific woman who helped us with parking meter because there was 5 feet of snow and we couldn't get near the meter. I think what is most nice is the genuine welcome feeling we experienced upon entering--like they're actually happy to have clients and want you to have a delightful evening.
